Should I drip acclimate corals from QT to DT?

[tanked37]

So I'm going to be moving some corals from my QT tank to my DT. Some SPS, some acans, and a torch coral. Is drip acclimation really necessary if my QT tank has same salinity, and temperature as my DT?

There is going to be some Ca, Mg, and Alkalinity differences (although not drastic), and the pH between the two systems is different.

QT pH = 7.85
DT pH = 8.22

Is that a concern at all?

I never drip corals. I use the dip and dunk method. Sometimes I don't even temp acclimate. Take that for what you paid for it, LOL!

^^this I never drip corals.. Only temp acclimate.. Most times from the frag tank to the dt it's just a grab and drop.

Yeah, that's what I went with. Aside from the pH there wasn't any real difference anyway.
